Biography

Irish songwriter Andy White's career began with a 1985 EP on Stiff Records called Religious Persuasion. A move to the London label yielded his full-length debut, 1986's Rave On, an acoustic-punk political protest album that addressed problems in Ireland and his native Belfast. After 1988's Kiss the Big Stone, he recorded first for Cooking Vinyl (1990's Himself), then inking a deal with Warner to deliver 1992's Out There and 1994's Destination Beautiful. In the wake of collaborating with Tim Finn and Liam O Maonlaí as ALT, Cooking Vinyl released his sixth LP, Teenage. Following a 1998 compilation, White continued his prolific run, issuing a live set via Peter Gabriel's WOMAD Select label and then signing with UK indie Floating World, delivering Andy White (2001) Boy 40 (2003), Garageband (2006), and Songwriter (2009). He has published two collections of poetry and an 'on the road' novel 21st Century Troubadour, the latter of which was accompanied by an album of the same name in 2012. In 2016, White celebrated his first three decades of recording with a career-spanning box set Studio Albums 1986-2016 which included latest releases How Things Are and Imaginary Lovers. White made a return to his political roots with The Guilty & The Innocent in 2017 and Time is a Buffalo in the Art of War, 2019, before releasing career highlight, This garden is only temporary, in 2022. Andy's latest release is a duo album, AT, with Tim Finn, March 2023. ~ Timothy Monger & Steve Huey, Rovi
